Definitions and more.
Shaft pressure: The pressure transferred to the road from the wheels on an axle.
Creepy crawlies: A special roadway that is signposted for slow-moving traffic.
Light switch-on times: The time from sunset to sunrise or otherwise when, due to darkness, fog, mist, haze, rain or similar poor visibility or lighting conditions, the use of the vehicle's lamps is required either to make the vehicle visible to other road users or to provide the driver with sufficient visibility.
Motorised vehicle: A vehicle that is equipped with an engine for propulsion. Motorised vehicles are divided into motor vehicles, tractors, motorised tools and mopeds.
Motorised vehicle: A motorised vehicle which is principally designed to be used independently for the carriage of passengers or goods. A motorised vehicle that is designed for other purposes, but which is constructed or can be modified without significant structural changes to reach a speed of more than 40 km per hour, is also considered a motor vehicle and is divided into cars and motorcycles.
Power tool: A power-driven vehicle designed primarily as a work tool and constructed for a maximum speed of 40 kilometres per hour and only with significant structural changes can be modified to a higher speed. A motorised vehicle intended to be driven by a pedestrian is considered to be a power tool.
Motorway and expressway: A road that is reserved for motor vehicle traffic and is marked with traffic signs as a motorway or expressway.
Parking: Any parking of a vehicle with or without a driver. However, stopping for less than 3 minutes, stopping to get on or off the vehicle and loading or unloading goods are not considered parking.
Trailer: A vehicle that is designed to be towed by another vehicle. Trailers are categorised as trailers, semi-trailers and towed implements.
Attachment tool: Trailers other than trailers and semi-trailers. Caravan is considered a trailer implement.
Trailer: However, trailers that are primarily designed for the transport of persons or goods, except semi-trailers.
Semi-trailer: A trailer which is principally designed for the carriage of persons or goods and which is coupled to the towing vehicle in such a way that the vehicle or its load rests partly on the towing vehicle.
Actual gross vehicle weight: The instantaneous weight of the vehicle with operating equipment, driver and cargo.
Permissible total weight: The maximum authorised weight of the vehicle with operating equipment, driver and load at the time of registration or approval.
Road user: Anyone travelling or otherwise being on the road or in a vehicle on the road.
Tractor: A motor vehicle which is principally designed to tow another vehicle or implement and which is designed for a maximum speed of 40 km/h and which can only be modified to a higher speed with substantial structural alterations. Despite the fact that a tractor or a motorised implement may be capable of 40 km/h, they may not drive at more than 30 km/h in the area governed by the Road Traffic Act, etc. that it is "Tempo 40" km/h approved. This means that the vehicles are registered with the "Tempo 40" authorisation. For a tractor with a trailer or a motorised implement with a trailer, all parts of the vehicle combination must be "Tempo 40" approved by an inspection company or registered with the permit.
More densely built-up area: Area whose boundaries are indicated by special signage.
Road: Road, street, cycle path, pavement, pavement, square, bridge, tunnel, passage, path or similar, whether public or private.
Road junctions: Road intersection, road junction and road mouth.
Carriageway: Any of the lanes into which the carriageway can be divided, each of which is sufficiently wide to be used by a number of 4-wheeled vehicles.
Tempo 40 mark.

Tractors:
There are three groups of tractors:
- Tractors that can be registered or authorised (no number plate).
- Tractors to be authorised.
- Tractors to be registered.
Registration and authorisation
Tractors that are exempt from registration
Tractors that are used predominantly off-road, as traction or power for implements, do not need to be registered if they are only used on the road:
- For self-transport to and from the workplace and repairer.
- As a tractor driver to and from the work site and repairer of work tools.
- As a tractor to and from the work site and repairer for trailers that are empty or carrying implements related to the function of the tractor.
- For test drives or similar time-limited driving after authorisation from the police.
Tractors that are only used for road work on roads in road areas that are safely restricted by barriers or markings, or used for cleaning, snow removal and the like, do not need to be registered.
Tractors to be registered
Registered tractors may be used for the same purposes as tractors that do not require approval or registration, as well as for general freight transport. When driving for others on the road, a haulier's licence may be required. There must be a number plate on both the front and rear.
Approved tractors
An approved tractor is recognised by a white number plate with a red border on the front of the tractor. On older licence plates, however, the border may be black. It can only belong to the owner or user of an agricultural, horticultural or forestry property, can be used for the following transports when authorised:
- The transport of products originating from or intended for use in an agricultural, horticultural or forestry undertaking to and from such property and between parts of it.
However, the tractor may not be used for the simultaneous transport of products from several companies, unless their owners or users are all co-owners of the tractor. An authorised tractor can always be used as a tractor that is exempt from registration.
